CES 2025 has certainly stirred the tech world, and mobile gaming is no exception. Among the myriad of announcements, one standout is the introduction of the AI-generated "CPC" - short for "Co-Playable Character." Unveiled by Krafton on January 8th, this isn't just another NPC; it's a Non-Playable Character enhanced with generative AI, set to revolutionize gameplay in both PUBG and inZOI.
The implementation of CPC in inZOI, dubbed "Smart Zoi," promises to add a new layer of emotional depth and personalized interactions, making the simulation experience more immersive and lifelike than ever before.
In PUBG, the "PUBG Ally" will dynamically adapt strategies to complement your gameplay, potentially transforming the dynamics of player interactions in intriguing, if not slightly eerie, ways.
Developed in collaboration with NVIDIA ACE, this innovative concept will enable real-time, adaptive conversations with players, tailoring scenarios to the current gameplay context. "Our collaboration with NVIDIA is a testament to the transformative potential of AI in gaming, and we plan to work closely together to push the boundaries of what is possible," stated Kangwook Lee, Head of the Deep Learning Division at Krafton.
